in the sound of swallows

Chapter 56
Gu Chengxiang was overwhelmed by this series of events, and he was stunned for a while before asking Shen Guiyan: "What's going on here?"

Shen Guiyan raised her head, her eyes were already full of tears, and said sadly: "A few days ago, Xianggong and Yan'er proposed to establish Shuangjiang as an aunt, but Yan'er thought that Shuangjiang had no merit or heirs, so she didn't agree. To send Yan'er back to her mother's house is to make trouble with Shuangjiang. If Yan'er hadn't become suspicious and hid under the bed, she would have been kept in the dark!"

Prime Minister Gu frowned, looked at Gu Chaobei and said, "Is there such a thing?"

Gu Chaobei took a deep breath, widened his eyes and said, "I...Father, isn't it common to take concubines? There is nothing wrong with what my son did, right? It's just that Yan'er is too arrogant and overbearing, and I am not allowed to take concubines, so I did this The worst policy."

"Ridiculous!" Prime Minister Gu frowned and said, "You are not satisfied with a good wife like Yan'er? One day Yan'er is really angry with you and returned to her mother's house, that's why you cry."

Gu Chaobei snorted and leaned against the cabinet with a rascal face.

It was only then that Huchang realized what was the cause of this trouble. How dare they come to track down the assassin, and in the end they brought out the affairs of Young Master Gu Si?This fourth young lady Gu is also amazing, she even hides under the bed.Is Gu Si Shao blind?The maid next to her was obviously not as good-looking as the Young Madam, and she took some concubines.

Interrupted by this, the guards standing outside became spectators.Hu Chang coughed lightly and stood up and said: "Gu family affairs, it's not easy for lower officials to mix in, let's go search in other rooms."

"Yes." A group of people outside responded.

Hu Chang turned his head and slightly cupped his hands towards Shen Guiyan: "Young Madam, take care."

Shen Guiyan still wiped away her tears, and gave him a grateful smile.

"You unfilial son, I will teach you a lesson when you come to the main courtyard for dinner." Gu Chengxiang glared at Gu Chaobei, then glanced at Shuang Jiang: "Leave this girl to me, and your courtyard should also be cleaned up." Cleaned up, what kind of words are there so many women piled up?"

Gu Chaobei said with a sad face: "Father, these are all the beauties my mother collected for me. How could you go against my mother's wishes?"

"Ma'am, this is just wrong, I'm too used to you!" Prime Minister Gu flicked his sleeves: "Stop talking, Shuang Jiang, come with me."

"...Yes, master." Shuang Jiang's eyes were red, he put on two clothes in embarrassment, gave Gu Chaobei a pitiful look, and then looked at Shen Guiyan with some hatred.

Shen Guiyan was still wiping tears on the ground, without looking up at her at all.The last time this girl ran over arrogantly and robbed Gu Chaobei, she still remembered that. Today happened to be a good day, so she could just send her out.

Almost all the maids in the north courtyard were sent by Mrs. Gu. Knowing that Gu Chaobei was a womanizer, Mrs. Gu stuffed all the pretty maids in the mansion into the north courtyard.He was going to Zuihuayin, and the monthly money given by Mrs. Gu was enough. In front of Prime Minister Gu, Mrs. Gu seemed to be kind to Gu Chaobei.

It's just that she didn't expect that these girls were not very useful, and they didn't keep Gu Chaobei from talking, and they were all fascinated by him, and they were willing to help him with things.

Beauty is also a natural ability, the key depends on what to do with it.

The messy people slowly left, and Gu Chaobei finally let go of his hanging heart.

"Everyone is gone, don't cry." Unable to tell what emotion it was, he knelt down and looked at Shen Guiyan, he had a lot to say, but in the end he only stroked her hair.

If it weren't for her today, he would be miserable.

"Do you think I want to cry?" Shen Guiyan raised her head with tears streaming down her face, "My back was already in severe pain, but after such a toss, now I'm half leaning on it again, it hurts so much that I can't stop crying It's..."

Gu Chaobei was taken aback, stretched out his hands to help her lie on the bed, dumbfounded: "Why didn't you leave, are you still under the bed?"

"Don't ask so many questions." Shen Guiyan waved her hands angrily: "You should first see how the brother under your bed is doing."

It took her a lot of effort just now to stuff the man inside and lie down by herself.Otherwise, as soon as the person scooped up the brocade, he would definitely have seen it.

After being reminded by her, Gu Chaobei remembered, and quickly pulled out the brother who was under the bed.

Already half dead.

Shen Guiyan helped to direct: "Put him on the bed, and then call the doctor, saying that I am injured, and bring some medicine."

"Okay." Gu Chaobei nodded in agreement, and quickly followed her instructions.As a result, he didn't realize until halfway, Yan'er didn't leave, so who was being carried into the carriage?

As soon as Baoshan and Zhuiyun left the capital, several horses followed.Zhuiyun was stunned for a moment, and hastened to speed up, but the carriage couldn't outrun the horse, so he had to be forced to stop.

The guards at the back all followed up and blocked the front, chasing after the cloud like facing an enemy, they stretched out their hands and pulled out their swords.

"What are you fighting for? Run!" Baoshan grabbed Zhuiyun and pulled back.

"Young madam is still in the carriage!" Zhuiyun frowned, "How can you leave your master and leave?"

There were more than a dozen people on the opposite side, and there were only seven or eight guards around them. Bao Shan couldn't explain, so he just said: "Are you stupid if you don't run away if you can't beat them?"

"The master wants me to protect the young lady well, even if I die, I will die before the young lady." Zhuiyun shook off Baoshan's hand, frowned and said, "It's in vain that the young lady treats you so well, but you actually abandoned me in times of crisis." I don't care about it."

Baoshan was so angry with him, he looked at Zhuiyun with some disgust, and felt extremely wronged for some reason: "You idiot!"

A group of people had already surrounded him, and Zhuiyun held a knife and shouted, "Protect Madam!" All the guards rushed up.He was about to step forward when he felt a sudden pain in the back of his head, and then lost consciousness.

Everyone was heading towards the carriage, and while they didn't care about this side, Bao Shan picked up the cloud and left.

Gu's family had breakfast, Shen Guiyan did not go due to injury, Mrs. Gu and Shen Guiya also did not come to take care of their health, Gu Chaonan and Xu Mengdie were listening to Gu Chengxiang lecturing Gu Chaobei at the table.

"Now that you have an official position, how can you still be obsessed with women? What do the maids in the yard look like? Today, I let the deputy commander watch the joke, so I have to read you a book in front of the queen."

Gu Chaobei ate with his head depressed, his left ear went in and his right ear went out, he didn't take it seriously at all.

Gu Chaonan said with a smile: "When the fourth brother can go out to build a mansion, he will have as many concubines as he likes. As long as the business is done well, why worry about being laughed at by others? Father should also feel relieved."

Prime Minister Gu snorted, scolding is just scolding, but now Gu Chaobei is the most promising son among the bunch, so he won't punish him.After thinking about it, he still said: "I'll go with you to the Ministry of Criminal Justice after eating, you hairless brat will definitely not be able to convince the crowd, I'll take a look for you."

After all, he still has a fatherly heart.

Gu Chaobei coughed lightly and said, "You don't have to go to the Ministry of Punishment today, do you? Father will definitely enter the palace later."

"What am I going to do in the palace?" Gu Chengxiang was at a loss: "I didn't hand out the sign today."

"Father, did you forget?" Gu Chaobei put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "There are assassins in the palace, I don't know which master suffered the disaster. But they all sent Deputy Commander Hu out, so it must be a noble person, and father wants to come in." Palace to see."

Prime Minister Gu lowered his eyes: "The sixth prince was killed."

Everyone at the table was shocked, and Gu Chaobei was also full of surprise: "Sixth Prince?"

"Well, I hurt my heart with a knife. I don't know if I can save it." Prime Minister Gu sighed, "Vice Commander Cai Hu told me when he came just now that the palace is in chaos, and I don't plan to enter the palace today."

Gu Chaonan's expression was a little unpredictable, but Xu Mengdie continued to eat calmly.

Gu Chaobei said with a serious face: "The sixth prince has lost his position as the crown prince, and now he is in such a catastrophe, what a misfortune."

The East Palace must have been messed up.

"It's good that you know, don't mess with the empress again recently." Prime Minister Gu said: "If the sixth prince can't be rescued this time, the world may change drastically again."

Gu Chaobei nodded, he would not offend the empress, the empress is so powerful, whoever touches it will be unlucky.It's better to cut off the sixth prince, so that she can no longer have the desire to usurp the throne.

This move was dangerous, but fortunately it succeeded.

Now Gu Chaobei's heart is full of small flowers blooming all over the mountains and plains, but his face is still serious: "I will be careful."

The sixth prince, Mingche, was stabbed seven times in his body, and his lungs were wounded three times, and his life was delayed entirely by precious medicine.The queen had already cried into tears in the palace, the queen mother was furious, and ordered a thorough investigation.

"The sixth brother will be safe and well." The prince knelt under the queen, sincerely said.

"Wow—" the queen raised her hand to sweep, and all the things on the table were thrown at Ming Xun.

"You don't need to be hypocritical, if the sixth prince dies, I will definitely tell the person who harmed him to die!" The queen said angrily: "You can enter the deep palace with assassins, and you are so familiar with the terrain, what do you really think of me?" Don’t even know if it’s possible?!”

Hot tea spilled all over him, the prince didn't move, he just bowed his head and said: "Xun'er will help the queen thoroughly investigate this matter."

The queen snorted coldly, her phoenix eyes were full of murderous intent: "Order the Ministry of Punishment. If the murderer can't be found within three days, all of them will be dismissed!"

The hall was quiet, but the eunuch next to him went to deliver the order, and the prince knelt down with mixed feelings in his heart.

The empress has the final say on this important matter in the court...

Shen Guiyan watched Gu Chaobei bandage the person on the bed, he was clumsy, so naturally he couldn't wrap it well.

"Let me do it." Taking the cloth and ointment, Shen Guiyan moved her body slightly, skillfully covering the wound on the man in black's shoulder.

Gu Chaobei raised his eyebrows and watched: "Do you often do such things?"

"When my brother was still in the capital, he was often injured, and I helped to bandage it." Shen Guiyan said: "This man's wound looks a little deep, but it's not too serious. He lost a lot of blood, just take care of him." gone."

Gu Chaobei looked at her, remembering that she had been under the bed, his eyebrows twitched suddenly: "Yan'er, did you hear a lot of strange voices?"
